North Baldwin County school columns for 1st week of December 2011

Hello, students and faculty of BCHS. Ms. Watson, the school nurse, wants to remind all asthmatics that they need to have a health care plan on file in the Health Room. You are also required to have a medication form signed by your parent and doctor in order to carry your inhaler while at school. If you have these forms filled out, return them to the school nurse immediately. If you need any of these forms, stop by her office. This is a yearly requirement.

If anyone is interested in playing tennis in spring, please see Mrs. Beasley for information.

Seniors, if you are graduating in December, your computer is due on Tuesday. Also seniors, if you would like to order cap and gown pictures see Mr. Lepa with your order packet before Christmas break.

Show school spirit by wearing a BCHS hoodie. You can pre-order one for $20 from Mrs. Simon. Hoodie sizes range from small to XXL.

The 2012 yearbooks will be on sale during breaks and lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The cost will be $70. The cost may be split into two $35 payments. The final day for orders will be today.

Do not forget about the after-school program with new and exciting activities. The after school program will be offered every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15 to 6:15 p.m. Any student interested in participating needs to see Mrs. Cryar in Room 206 for an application. After school tutoring will be held in Ms. Fox’s Room 312 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:20 to 5:20 p.m.

As always, if any faculty member needs information about the school to appear in this section of the paper, you can e-mail me the information at daringhinkley@gmail.com. I need the information the Tuesday before Friday if possible, thank you. Have a great weekend.
